Vignoles Fact Sheet

BLEND INFORMATION: This shy-bearing Vignoles (veen' yole) grape has become the jewel of Missouri white wines. The difficult-to-grow variety achieves its richest complexities in the warm and sunny vineyards of Missouri. Our 2006 vintage is made from 100% Vignoles grapes harvested at their peak of maturity. 4,600 cases produced.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Harvested August 19-21, 2007; Alcohol - 12.8%; Residual Sugar - 3.6%

TASTING INFORMATION: Stone Hill's Vignoles exudes rich, fresh tropical fruit flavors and aromas. We stop the fermentation at just the right moment to achieve the perfect balance of natural sweetness. It’s a fine accompaniment for spicy foods such as Asian and Mexican dishes. You’ll also enjoy sipping it by itself or with desserts such as fresh fruit or raspberry cheesecake. Suggested retail price: $15.99 (750 ml)
